It looks like a morden hybrid tea rose more than a portland damask.

It to me resembles the opening stages of a bloom of 'Mogador'. I several times wondered if my 'Mogador' was not a HT when I say the blooms first opening.

The petals are too dark and large for 'Rose du Roi' and the bloom is too high centred for a rose that should have no tea or China blood in it.

'Mogador' is also known as 'Rose du Roi a Fleurs Pourpres' because someone or other supposed it to be a sport, which it clearly is not, of 'Rose du Roi'. I wouldn't know where the gardener got his plant but there is one US nursery which is notorious for making just that kind of label switching, or label not reading, mistake.
